Does any one know of any tools or ways of getting information on an intel cpu other than using "About this Mac" or System Profiler?

I upgraded my cheap as chips £200 mac mini today with 2GB of RAM and what I'm told was a core2duo 1.83 proc - the mac seems to think it's just a coreDuo - and it might be right (the CPU didn't cost me anything as it came out a dead laptop) and I forgot to check the model number. Its not the end of the world if it is just a coreDuo but I was hoping to get more info. I can't be bothered to pull it apart again to check. I might put windows on it and use cpu-z if nobody can think of any utilities on the mac side.

well I needed a windows box for some Uni work anyway so I put vista on it (dam that OS can be annoying until you turn User Access Control off) CPU-Z also says I have a coreDuo not a core2Duo - not the end of the world though!

Too bad. The Core 2 Duo is a much, much better CPU--but you can't argue with the price.

I just bought a 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo for my Mac Mini. Once I test and verify it works, I'll be selling the original CPU. Any interest?

It is a 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo. I'd like $100 for it, and I'll throw in a 1 GB of Ram, (2) x 512MB memory boards, and pay shipping in Continental US.
